Our goal at Dot Girl First Period Products is that every girl has a positive first period experience and an empowered first step to womanhood.

Terri and Kathy's goal for the kit is to provide parents with the tools you need to explain the basics of menstruation to your daughters. And for the girls, they hope that having the kit will lessen their anxiety about their first period and instead turn it into a positive experience.

I just think this is such a neat kit to teach girls all about their first period. Looks at all the great stuff that each kit includes:

They even donate $1 from each period kit sale to the Central Asia Institute whose mission it is to build schools, especially for girls, in remote regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan!

This is such a wonderful idea. My sister has twin girls and I know this would help her. It's such an important subject that can carry lifelong repercussions if it's not approached correctly! I've seen it happen, as a teacher. I think this site is a great idea. Thanks!

What wonderful products! My daughter is at the age where she will need these. AS the stories on the website - my mother told me nothing. I figured it out on my own. I have already given my daughter something to carry in her book bag, and have made sure to give her the knowledge she needs. Along with an open line of communication so that she can ask me questions anytime. But this packaged idea is absolutely perfect!I do believe that I am going to go back and buy my daughter the bra on the page as it looks quite nice.

I like the fact that it comes with a lot of directions an explains a lot to young girls,I have a grandaughter who will be there real soon,an this would be great for her,I wish this had been around when my daughter had her first period,great ideal!

My daughter is 10 and many of her friends have already had their "friend" come to visit as my mother used to say. She knows it could happen any time. We have had the TALK but I do think she is nervous as one of her friends was not prepared the other day and was really mortified as a result. I love the Scensibles™ Disposal Bags-50 Pack, product. This helps reduce embarrassment and keep stuff on the DL.

A girl's first few periods are usually light. She'll lose about two to five tablespoons of blood over a period of two to eight days.the site gives great informative to mother and daughters on a variety of your questions

I've been looking for something like this for my almost 9 year old granddaughter.I remember ordering something similar for her mother quite a few years back.I'm going to also forward this info to my daughter.Thank you!!!

I thought this was fabulous! As others have said I love how positive the site is and it was interesting to read about they founders and their first menstration experiences which were less than comfortable. I want to empower and prepare my girls when the time comes and these kits are amazing!!

I am a subscriber. I also forgot to put what I liked on the website.. The dotgirl caring case is great, and the bra would be real good for a young girl just starting to wear a bra. Thanks again..purplrose32or@gmail.com

It's funny that they suggest giving the first period kit 3-6 months before the first period since you don't know when it's going to come and there's a 6 year window!I think this kit is a great idea because it makes it seem more normal instead of a girl having to use her mother's products.Thanks for the giveaway. mybabyappleseed(at)yahoo(dot)ca

I really enjoyed their story on how their Mom was not comfortable with their body. I grew up the same with not being open about it but now with my own daughter, I will be better prepare thanks to the Dot Girl website. Thanks !

I think it's neat that they donate one dollar from the sale of every period kit to the Central Asia Institute whose mission it is to build schools. The book inside of the kit which answers questions sounds great as well. Thanks.

What a fantastic idea! My comment is about another of the products for sale. I think the disposable panties are such a neat idea for young girls when they are struggling to adjust to what can/does happen when you have your period.

What a awesome idea my daughter is turning 8 and I have become a little nervous about how to talk about this subject I was 9.5 when I started!! The average age is 12.5 but wow it goes by fast doesnt it! summrob1@aol.com

The site faqs state "We recommend that a girl gets her first period kit three to six months prior to starting her first period." I know this would be helpful to have for my daughter. I was very young & I figure she will be too & something like this would help make it less scary. Thanks for the contest.

This is neat! I wish my mother would have handed this kit to me, when I came to her in fear because I had "started for the first time"... I love how there is a kit, full of all sorts of neat tools and information for women. Thanks, Tiffanytiffstrivaniteam@yahoo.com

this is a really cool idea i have a friend and her daughter is now 13 and scared of getting her period she always tells me how her friends got theirs and how she doesnt want to get it i think this might help her out a lot
